MX5 CLUB OF QLD TRACK DAY 21 MAY 2012

[MINX]

Ummmmm....!!

Anyone want a cat? whinges 24/7 eats like a horse, sleeps everywhere she shouldn't, unable to have kittens, can wreck a pair of jeans you are wearing with ease, knows how to hide in the engine bay, can climb the screen doors and freak when she finds she CANT walk upside down to catch a gecko!!
Good seat warmer in an MX5 if you don't shut the garage!!
Votes Liberal/LNP and is better than any alarm clock at 4am!!

Way to go OT in your own thread Roger!!!

MX5 related!! seat warmer, good for getting polish off too!!

I'm not sure if you have scored the non-MX5 drivers championship for this year to date - have a spreadsheet here for after 2 rounds if you don't have it, let me know

[zero00]

How time flies!

Just over 5 weeks now to our next track day at Queensland Raceway!!

Make sure you have your CTP completed and also pay on or before 14 days prior for the BEST deal!!

Nice to catch up with Tony this morning having coffee at southbound BP Burpengary, he has an 89 silver Eunos and I hope he makes it to QR next meet, look forward to seein you there Tony

For those that have 'Harrys Lap Timer Pro' version 15 is now ready for download

I can identify the following from last track day thru 'Hall of Fame'

If you don't know how to find that, select track [Lakeside] scroll down to 'Hall of Fame' and check lap times against dates

RJC Ross
ARH Alan
G33 Greg
XXX Myself!! [now changed to RGD]

Go to it!! Some may say it's just a novelty but for $19.99 it's close enough to indicate while running how you are going!!

Intending Competitors

Don't forget the great deal that MX5 Plus, a Club Sponsor and Forum Sponsor has going for a pre-track day service and check over

Give them a ring on [07] 3863 5858 and book in!!

Five [5] weeks to go until Queensland Raceway, first time there this year and for most, first run on the newly surfaced track

[CAR53]

No cat thanks, I prefer my exhaust to be straight through!

Sorry withdrawn now .. decided I couldn't live without the constant 'lap jumping' with claws extended, constant waking me at 4am, better than 2 x alarm clocks and also she makes a great letterbox warmer!!

I was at Lakeside yesterday watching the Open Sprints. nice to see Chris Rice in his silver MX5 SP bag a great 1.03.80!! Must have done that one after I left, as I was near the 'bus stop' timing him and had him at mid 64's for quite a few laps

I see car53 that you are into the 64's as well, so keep it going!!

Well done Chris

[CAR53]

I've been looking at my video of the last MX5 sprint. I'm hoping to get a further second or two off my times. The car is definitely now quicker than the driver.

Loved the video John and also the comments on the other thread

I'm sure you will crack into the 62's withiut any trouble!! I'm trying EVERYTHING possible just to get into the 68's haha!!

Out with the pension card, out with the walking stick and next time I think I will run with the handbrake OFF!! [just kidding!]

My best so far is 1.09.55 but breaking it into 3 sectors it calculates at 1.08.93, I'm sure I know where 1-2 secs are because I come down onto the main straight TOUCHING THE BRAKE!! That corner scares the %%%%%% outta me still!!

[Magpie]

I will be in Queensland for this so I will see you all there, be gentle

[zero00]

Magpie

Whilst there will be plenty of room for you, flick our Competition Secretary Mark an email so he is aware of your intentions:

compsecmx5@miata.net.au

Look forward to seeing you there - oh!!, where are you located currently?

[MINX]

Track day fees paid - CTP filed
Might even have a sparco seat by then

[CAR53]

Hope to have the rx8 brakes fitted for the 21st.

Off to the hill climb at mt cotton this weekend any othe 5s going?

[adidistyle]

Going. For a look. I will say hello if I see you. I was next to you in the pits at last Lakeside. Cheers.

[zero00]

Got CTP extension, was to pay today but work was busy and too cold!!

Can do that Monday, still 3 weeks out

Got oil change & check over done yesterday at MX5 Plus [Automotive Industries] clutch OK, 'Harry' received another update so done that and still picking rubber off the '949's from last Lakeside!!

MINX, not sure if you ran 'Harry' last Lakeside, i'd think not as I could identify all who did from 'Hall of Fame'!! It will give you a 'virtual' best lap time combining the best 3 sector times you have recorded - my PB on last Lakeside was 1.09.96 according to him [1.09.92 official] and virtual was 1.08.93 - good way to see where you can improve

OK vacuum and polish the car this weekend!
